For this case we have that by definition, the area of a rectangle is given by:

A = a * b

Where:

a, b: They are the sides of the rectangle

We have as data that:

$a = 6 \ in\\b = 2 \ ft * \frac {12 \ in} {1 \ ft} = 24 \ in$

Thus, the area of the rectangle is:

$A = 6 * 24 = 144 \ in ^ 2$

ANswer:

$144 \ in ^ 2$
